In 1983 the Kawasaki GPZ1100 advertised 105hp at the rear wheel – I had to have one! This picture taken in December 1983 with my family in Wollongong. Jeff Devjak

(FRED’S FAVE ) A photo of me on my second bike, a Suzuki GSX 250 with my brother on his in 1983. The GSX was a big difference from my Yamaha XS250 which was my first bike. My brother has passed but I am still riding. Shane Broomhall

This is not a picture of my first roadbike, but it was a good feeling finally having a licence and the right bike to go with it – didn’t last for very long though! Joel McDonald

My Fist half-decent bike was a Yamaha TT500, but it was knocked off before I could wear out the rear tyre. Alan Buckley
